History of Atlanta Bonded Warehouse Corporation

Atlanta Bonded Warehouse was organized in 1948 by a Peter Paul candy broker seeking to provide protective warehousing to the confectionery industry. The company operated under the name Acme Bonded Warehouse until 1981, when the current name was adopted. After two expansions, the "original" Acme facility encompassed 42,500 square feet of refrigerated storage space with a 10 foot clear height. The company experienced significant growth beyond the original facility, as summarized here.
